I had hernia surgery with mesh repair in 2011 i'm pregnant now due in sept i want to know about complications and if i will beable to have a c section?

Likely to have...: No complications. Depends somewhat on what type of hernia and where the mesh was placed. The mesh should be well healed in place at the hernia surgery site. A c-section, if needed, would also likely be alright as well and the mesh not as issue, but need to discuss in detail with your obstetrician.
